MØ - XXX 88

When we put the title of MØ’s new song XXX 88 into Google last night all we got was quite a few references to porn, chubby teen girls and a couple of posts by bloggers who uploaded on the b of the bang when this track was released to the world. By this morning (when we finally put this post up) all those naughty sites had dropped down the Google rankings and had been replaced with an overwhelming number of links to blogs and websites that have posted this song already - 12 hours is a long time on the internet these days.So, to the song. With the man who possibly built music on the web - Diplo - on board for musical coupling, what you hear with XXX 88 is MØ’s trademark slightly left of centre electronic pop with a groove that’s all sorts of sensual and sexy sounding, brassy riffs and MØ gobbing off with some shouted chants in the background. If you’ve seen MØ live it’s almost impossible to listen to this song without visualising her unique style of bendy energetic gymnastic punchy hair flinging attitude laden dancing. In fact don’t tell anyone but we might have even had a little attempt at recreating the moves ourselves whilst listening. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

XXX 88 is released on October 20. After that we must be getting damn close to an album. Let's hope so. Try some

MØ dancing to the song yourself, but whatever you do, no narcissistic selfies or videos of your moves to be uploaded to the internet please. Leave it to the professionals.
